The current 10.9-inch iPad Air features an LCD panel
The current standard 10.9-inch iPad Air uses a traditional LCD panel. The new model is expected to use Mini-LED technology to provide increased brightness for HDR content, deeper blacks for improved contrast, and lower power consumption for longer battery life. This technology is used in the top-of-the-line 12.9-inch iPad Pro models and MacBook Pro laptops.

No specific details about the iPad Air’s 12.9-inch display have been confirmed yet, but it could potentially match the specs of the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro: a 2D backlighting system with full local dimming zones, 2,732 x 2,048 resolution (264 ppi), support for ProMotion adaptive refresh rate technology, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits for HDR content.
While the iPad Air will get a mini-LED upgrade, rumors suggest that Apple may save the next-generation OLED display technology for the upcoming iPad Pro. The new iPad Pro models are also expected to be powered by the M3 chip and possibly accompanied by the new Apple Pencil 3.
